Hi Atheist,
This site that Cara found is an absolute must read. Not only do SOI engage in downright dispicable politics they engage in the same with business. The site is made by nice people who built a business on the web promoting vegetarianism of all things. SOI comes along and tries to bully them into accepting their business. Then they try to steal this and other site's business. They make me sick how sleazy they are. They think like animals. I guess they can't hide all the dodgy dealings they engage in. Even vegetarians don't like them.

VeggieLife.net now links back to VeggieLife.com, however VeggieLife.org, doesn't seem to come on the whois search, links to a chinese forum site.
I tried all the sites and they cannot be found and many don't seem to come up on a whois search so I may be doing it incorrectly.
PlanetArk has been advertised on Australian tv for about 7 years and Olivia Newton-John was the spokes person. I'm not sure if PlanetArk is owned by SOI as is being suggested on this site but they are international. With the dodgy automatically renewable contracts that PlanetVeggie made, as described on Vegsource, they could have sites hosted on their host sites and practically steal other people's work who are simply interested in spreading vegetarianism to others. It's horrible. They can also get sites hosted by a registrar such as Name Intelligence Inc. or Go Daddy and then it is harder to trace to SOI. As is my understanding so far. Cara is more knowledgable with legal stuff than I am so she can check it out as I'm having trouble getting my head around it.
The Go-Daddy site: [

Go-daddy is a free web hosting where Cara might be able to put up her next blog! They also do domain name registration.

The registrations of trademarks run by Science of Identity members are registered to multiple addresses. I wasn't aware that Siddha even travelled to Socal and that was one of Wai's aliases, Zhang Hui Lang. After typing it in I found a site about yoga in china. At the end of the article Zhang (Wai Lana) says she's appalled by the profiteering that is happening in the Yoga world. :? [

There are also trademarks for Golden Earth magazine and Golden Earth media. The purpose of both was for online use. Fiona Forrest who I think works now for the Down to Earth site posted on a yahoo forum advertising Golden Earth media.

Just like Ninjai the about us on the DTE site goes: "It all began back in 1977, in Wailuku, Hawaii. We were a small group of friends with a vision," Always a small group of friends. They can never be honest about who they are. Always a deviously sneaky group of liars hiding their Hindu cult affiliations so that people don't realise they are ISKCON the sequel.

Jaquelene Close Moore was a psychic on the [
www.Goldenearth.com] (this Golden Earth Media radio site just links back to Wai Lana shop site now) radio show for around two years. Her show Quest was selected to run on Golden Earth radio as an Australian representative. On the shows she interviewed Australian celebrities (although don't let the word celebrity in AUS fool you lol). Moore also produced a CD on fear of public speaking which Siddha might like to take a look at.

also links back to Down to Earth. I remember discussing with my brother Brendon how he was going to design the planetveggie site as the job, like many SOI business sites, was given to him.
I am amazed how convoluted it gets with SOI and why they can't just be honest and upfront about their dealings. Also why they don't just stick to the original message of SOI which was to spread the Hare Krishna mantra and how members of SOI don't see all these sneaky practices as hypocritical. When I was in the cult many of it's members had that used car salesman character about them. So perhaps they don't care as long as they get their grubby hands on the money. Most of the time the people who were engaging in SOI businesses didn't show up to gatherings. You rarely even saw them and it is hardly surprising why. Well that is a lot of information to go though so I'll leave it at that for now.
